Opportunities From: Metro United Way's Volunteer Connection

Help us convert a small space in our food pantry to an Operations Office / Volunteer Break Room.  

As a volunteer receptionist, you’ll help create a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who visits the St. Vincent de Paul Administration Building or calls our main line. Your tasks may include:

·       Answering phone calls and returning voicemails, directing callers to the appropriate SVdP staff member using the phone directory

·       Welcoming visitors at the door, guiding them to staff offices for scheduled meetings and accepting donations for our food pantry & shelter services

·       Interfacing with individuals seeking SVdP services with compassion and care, referring them to the correct numbers for housing, shelter, and food

·       Assisting with the processing of food pantry intake cards, translating data to Excel

Want to make a difference by supporting our neighbors experiencing homelessness and food insecurity? Volunteering with SVdP Louisville is a great way to put your clerical skills to work while serving those most in need.

Passionate about fighting food insecurity and comfortable driving a box truck?
We’re seeking 1–2 volunteers to help transport food donations to the SVdP Louisville Open Hand Kitchen from the Dare to Care Fern Valley warehouse. You’ll drive our box truck to the Dare to Care Fern Valley warehouse, pick up the weekly food donation, and deliver it to the Open Hand Kitchen. Staff will assist with loading and unloading at both locations.

Drivers must be cleared by HR, carry personal insurance, and hold a valid, unexpired Kentucky driver’s license. This is a flexible volunteer role, with Dare to Care dock hours Monday–Thursday, 7:30 AM–1:15 PM, or Friday, 7:30–10:45 AM. Each week, we can tailor the pick-up schedule to meet your needs.
